About 15 years ago, I was doing research for a term paper and long story shot, I found that bare-bones cremation service (i.e. they cremate the body and give you the ashes in a bag or something, no fancy casket or service and no burial) will run you at least $1000 if you live in a very large city. Smaller cities and towns, it would cost you more, and I'm sure it's more expensive everywhere now, 15 years later.

A few years ago I was temporarily living in a small city for a job. One of my coworkers suddenly and unexpectedly died of natural causes. When his son came to claim the body, he told me that the cheapest cremation he could get in that town cost over $3000. He had no other option, because the hospital would only release the body to a funeral home and he wasn't about to drive cross-country with a corpse, anyway. That was on top of having to take time off of work and travel to where we were, neither of which he could easily afford.

Dying is expensive.

Dying is incredibly expensive. We had someone in my industry die a couple years ago, leaving behind his 80-something year old wife. Someone set up a donation drive thing to pay for a basic funeral service, and it was somewhere in the ballpark of $8-10k.
